synchronous test
A test that interacts with the system under test (SUT) using normal (synchronous) method calls that return the results that the test will do the assertions agains. A synchronous test does not need to do any co-ordination of it steps with those of the SUT because this is managed autotically by the runtime system. Constrast this with an asynchronous test which runs in a separate thread of control from the SUT.
